Historic Decision by Himachal Pradesh Government to Award College Professors: HGCTA President BK Saklani Applauds Initiative.
Shimla:
In a landmark decision, the Himachal Pradesh Government has announced its intention to confer prestigious teacher awards upon college professors across the state. This unprecedented move, welcomed by the Himachal Pradesh Government College Teachers’ Association (HGCTA), marks a significant departure from past practices.
Dr. BK Saklani, President of HGCTA, expressed profound satisfaction at the government’s decision, highlighting that college professors had previously been overlooked in award considerations. This year’s inclusion of college professors in the Teacher Awards signifies a pioneering step towards acknowledging their pivotal role in higher education.
Dr. Saklani emphasized the immense pride felt by college educators, who not only impart knowledge but also provide invaluable guidance in extracurricular activities such as NSS and NCC. Their unwavering dedication, particularly in remote and challenging areas of the state, mirrors the commitment of school teachers in tribal regions.
“This initiative has instilled a renewed sense of pride and motivation among our esteemed college professors,” remarked Dr. Saklani. “Their tireless efforts contribute significantly to shaping the bright futures of our students, enriching their academic journeys and fostering holistic development.”
The decision, according to Dr. Saklani, will promote healthy competition among college professors, thereby enhancing the quality of education and co-curricular activities offered to students. This recognition is not only a testament to the professors’ hard work but also a catalyst for further advancements in the educational landscape of Himachal Pradesh.
The HGCTA president concluded by expressing optimism that such initiatives will continue to elevate the status of college professors and strengthen the state’s educational framework. This step by the Himachal Pradesh government is poised to inspire greater dedication and innovation among educators, ultimately benefiting the entire academic community and the students they serve.
